OUR PICK: The Giants wound up being a horrible play yesterday because they even cost runline bettors money by losing outright. But Cueto should help them rebound tonight. The Phillies are 0-4 in their last four home games versus a right-handed starter and are 0-4 in their last four games after scoring five runs or more in their previous game. They’ve also won just 7 of 27 games following a win, so don’t be afraid to go back to the well on the Giants tonight.
